This is an interesting little game! I really like the artwork for the town and castle. It brings to mind the old Kings Quest and medieval adventure games I've played. Though I'm not as big a fan of the pseudo-tower defense gameplay as the controls are a bit obtuse, I think this is really charming!

Just a bunch of dull pixelhunting followed by a barebones retelling of the monkey's paw story, which does not gel with the sci-fi setting at all. All the worldbuilding from the first section is worthless when it has no bearing on the actual plot. It might as well have been a rural farm instead of a space colony. While all the art is fantastic, this is pure style over substance. It doesn't matter how well animated the son is when we don't get to see the payoff of his revival. This mostly felt pointless, especially compared with Broussard's last game, where it felt like each puzzle built off the last one and the tension was consistently building. I hope his next game hues closer to that than "The Third Wish."
Very interesting idea, with a fantastic aesthetic to boot! However, some of the enemies and their abilities are cheap rather than actually challenging. For instance, on some levels it's impossible to defend from an attack due to a bomb destroying the only shield blocks available (and that's if spawn at all). Usually a few tries would get me through a stage fine, but others just don't allow for the kind of experimentation needed as you have to be on your game from moment one.
The game does do a great job at communicating what is will happen to the player though, each mechanic and obstacle is introduced and explained well. I think with a little tweaking of these mechanics would improve the game exponentially!
Can't wait to finish this! I played through the first one a few weeks back and had a great time with this one when I found it. Strangely it took a bit of trouble to find. I couldn't see it on your itch.io page and only found it by looking up Telwynium book two on google.
Also I found a glitch when I tried to restore my game after I got to the current ending. The music stopped and I couldn't close the window. It was a bit odd.
Despite those minor gripes, can't wait to see where the series goes from here.
